Shishka...my cousin just got banned forever from the forums. While neither he nor I are complaining about the ban...there's more to life than a forum...we were hoping to find out what he did. I don't know if PM or this thread or something else is the right way to approach this. Thanks in adavance.
If he clicks on "Create New Topic" or tries to reply to a thread, his ban message will come up. That should include the reason for the ban.

We live, we love, we learn, we give, but we don't give up. If we give up, we're forgetting everything we've ever accomplished, and we'll never get to see what we could have accomplished.

Alright guys, we all know that multiple people have been banned due to Banhammer V2...but this really needs to be rethought, or dulled down. You can believe what you want, but I do have anger issues and OCD, and do try to keep my KD ratio up, so if I end up getting killed by some rediculous method, I quit out of the game early...(Ex - Ninja Punch...Double Teaming...etc, all in LW's).

Is it my fault that I have anger issues and OCD? No, it runs in my family on my dad's side.

And for all of you Forum Cops, yes, I've checked out -

The XP Ban Thread
The Banhammer Information
and obviously
The New Announcement


Now for God sakes, have I done anything terrible? Hardly, I've been playing LW's strictly just to get some new people to talk to. In fact, a good 33-50% of the people I play with each day end up quitting out.

Now I'm a 42, and only really good at Team Slayer in which I play with some of my friends from the Spartan 1 Project, real good guys. They could even vouch for me that I have NEVER boosted, only been hurt by others in playlists such as Doubles.

I started Lone Wolves on the 15th really, and started getting frustrated right off the bat, but I've met some good people, so how am I hurting anybody else? I've become terrible at Halo due to all the Boosters and Second Accounters, and now I can't even be allowed to quit out of games because I have two hereditary conditions?

Now we all have our reasons for quitting out, and I've already said that I get angrily easily. So let me just tell you the reason's I quit out -

-Bad map (Isolation)
-Bad gametype (King of the Hill, Oddball, Swords, Ninjanaught)
-Matched up with 50's or recruits who are inevitably in the 40's
-Killed when I have a spree going (I will admit, I like the feeling of getting high sprees and impressive kills, but when my chance is ruined, I get frustrated and quit)
-Getting killed by either being double teamed, killed by a rediculous way, or getting killed and losing my spree

Now guys, I hardly see why I should be punished because I have a condition that I can't control. I already go to therapy and counciling, but there's not much I can do otherwise, unless somebody can help me with my anger...

Now to all of you saying I'm lieing, let's see my defense

-I'm 14 and have roughly $2,500 in my bank, so there's no needs for making a measily $8 off of this "boosting" nonsense
-My father and mother make roughly $150,000 a year, and my mom works at Yale in New Haven
-I go to a $10,000 a year Private School for College Prep
-I have friends both in real life and online

Now let's see the reasons I have been banned for
-Supposed boosting / quitting out of games

^--- because I have the hereditary issue...


Now really Bungie, I have hereditary anger issues, OCD, Type 1 Diabeties (diagnosed last year, in hospital for 7 days), and just because I quit out of games because I have something I can't help, I get blamed. I have absolutely NO BENEFIT for quitting, and you ban me?

Even so you can say that you've "improved the banhammer", I love how you guys release it today without people even knowing that it was going to be released, so you are banning people for the wrong reason's.

Now, let's look at this information -

I have played 1042 MM games

-I've played out 746 games
-I've quit out of 297 games

-I've played out 71.5% of my total games
-I've quit out of 28.5% of my total games, and quit out of 71 Lone Wolves games, which is actually only 6.8% of my total games that I've quit out of (for Lone Wolves)


So tell me Bungie, and please, I do hope for a response...

Why would you ban me? It may not be serious to some, and this may be locked, but just why? I'm even surprised that I haven't quit out of more games, but honestly.

Now Bungie, I'm not trying to be rude, but what about people that have personal issues and built up stress or hereditary conditions? Do you want us to just leave our console on for another 10 minutes and not play, just watching others kill us?

I do hope that you see the flaw in your logic Bungie, and I would appreciate if this thread wasn't locked, or if I could be messaged by a Bungie Employee.

Thank you...no flaming please

I was recently banned from gaining xp for 2 weeks and from matchmaking for 1 week because of my "boosting" in 3 ball over this past weekend. There are 2 problems that I have with me being banned:

1) I had no idea that you could even become banned because of boosting xp. This angers me because there is no specific information on Halo 3 that tells you the rules of what you can or cannot do. And in Bungie's defense I'm sure they would claim that I should have looked on this web site for the information. But I shouldn't have to go looking for rules and regulations, If they don't want people doing it that badly, they should have the rules and punishments some where far more easily seen.

2) There are 12 people required for 1 game of three ball. I was 1 person- And the only one to get banned. And the funny thing is that everyone else in my party played EXACTLY the same amount of games as I did. I can see if I was getting different people in my party every other game or some stupid thing that no one would ever do like that, but we all played the same! And I'm the only freaking person to get banned?!? I have tolerated Bungie before... but it is seriously getting harder and harder. Can they not see the flaws with what they are doing? God it is sooo obvious to me. Anyone else? (Considers playing COD 5)

lol, ask any MLG montage maker, its a lot easier to exterm people low rank MLG than high rank MLG, and they both look just as nice. Why do you think people use 1 months to get montage clips? they play trash.

I still don't understand how this is a huge offense, quitting out of games. Normally I still end up playing the game fully through and quitting out at the end, but I still drop enough kills to put my team into a good position to win. Its not like im betraying them the entire game like I know some people do. And I've only quit out of 7 games, tops, I'd say where I quit out at the beginning of an MLG game, before it starts. Theres people out there that are a lot worse than me in terms of why they should be banned.

Also if you are in this topic, that means either you got banned or your trying to resolve everybodys problems, and saying their trash at Halo isn't very great resolving. I'd much rather hear a bungie employees opinion rather than yours.




Hahahhahaha, I love all these crying kids who are flooding the forums with their excuses...I bet the Custom game hoppers are EXPLODING today with all the cry babies! Play right next time and quit thinking you're better than others because you play people lower ranks than you....

Your anger issues can be your excuse but it is not a good one. Don't blame a predisposition. This isn't a court of law and the insanity plea does not work here.

There are/were in game warnings and the terms of use and code of conduct you agreed to when signing up for xbox live. Manipulating a system is a form of cheating. For your second point give it some time I'm sure justice will be met.

I said "specific" warnings. I have seen game manipulation but I had assumed things like modded controllers or things of that nature. Trust me, there is nothing that says "EXP Boosting"

game manipulation is pretty vague if you ask me. "EXP boosting" is still game manipulation.

Your obviously a Bungie lover so this is a little biased and your vocabulary is far greater than mine so im not going to argue with you. Bungie is flawed, they need to change some stuff.

I'm actually far from a "Bungie lover," the system isn't perfect and I bet even Bungie will admit that much which is why they are still in the process of trying to improve the matchmaking experience a year after the games initial release and for that I have a deep respect for Bungie. That doesn't mean Bungie is perfect and does no wrong. As far as ban's go they have installed a system that targets specific actions, and these actions are really easy to avoid doing even without "warnings." This is the reason why people that have been banned have really no basis for argument.

Lol, see why I'm trying not to argue with you? =P I'd get owned. We have 2 different points of view, you get that, I get that. You have a better way of presenting your point of view through writing so there's no point in me trying.

i can't count on both hands how many times Bungie has said they would be banning EXP boosters. Read the forums and the weekly updates. If you look at the beginning of this thread, it tells you the reasons for banning people like u

People still boost and make boost accounts. Nothing drastic will change in the short term until more severe punishments are handed out. At the moment the change will be from quitting early to just dying and losing the game.

These guys got bored and quit anyway.

People that boost up EXP should get banned. Like I said before all of you guys that do that are just sore losers, who worry about EXP? Like come on' Shishka did the right thing banning you for CHEATING. You agreed to rules, and you can't break the RULES.
